Laura .Woodbine danced about tht room like a wild creature. Her ey Bparklod; she wrunjj her alim, browi bands; the very accents of her voic were full of entreity. She was dark and brilliant, witl pcach red cheeks, a little scarlet velvet mouth, and hair which was neither brown nor black, but a sheeny admixture ot both. Mrs. Woodbine sat by the windosj darniuij a well-worn table-cloth which had come to grief in the family wa'aim i regarding Laura with blue -spectacled tyci of perp'exity. This, to condense matters, was thi iituat:on. Mrs. Htilph Woodbine wiw a widow in re iucei circumstances, and Agneta, her eluest daughter, had engaged herself to S!r. Blair U.jlmont, of Iiolmont Ab hor, Xeirport, and Fifth avenun, Ner York, as governess to two Lord Fauotlo ifojish lails in Ioajj yellow curls and black velvet suits. -Mrs. B:!r Belfont re.iiired a greal msny cpaliScations, but Agneta Wood bine had been judiciously trained, an 1 passed this species of competitive i-x-Hiuination with flying colors, and she was to enter upon her situation on the lirst of February, when Mrs. Beifont re iur:,t 1 from the Abbey at Newport to t je bi brjwmtone house on the avenue. In the meantime, she had accepted the invitation of an old schoolmate to visit her in Texas, and was there re cjperaing a litt'.e in preparation for the libur JSelmont duties. And all of a sudden some great defect in tiie Abbey drainage developed itself an array ol plumbers bad come down upon the premises, and the Us! fonts had fltd precipitately down to New York, te'egraphing to the Woodbine domicile for tuc nev governess to join them at once. "Agneta could be here in a week," sail Mis. Woodbine, thoughtfully. "But in the meanwhile! And it would spoil Agy's visit to come straight hornet" pleaded Laura. I'm sure I could teach t.vo boys. What goo J would all my training at the Normal College do me else? Oh, mam bb. don't write to Agneta please don't!

Mrs. Blair Belfont. a commanding person, with a bristly beard like a gren adier, and a tiue Roman nose, surveyed her dubiously. "I expected to see an older person, sai l she, flourishing a gold lorguette. "However, I'll give you a trial." ' l'haak you, ma'am t" murmured Laura, her guilty little heart giving s great lean of jov. "Bit," added Mrs. Blair Bedfront, "the dear boys don't come down from t'leir unr e's at Palace Hail until Moa-d-ir.

And isn't it lucky that I've got tin r iaice to take you for a real Twelfth D ty sleighride? But we must hurry, for the Abdallah doa't like stanliugiu the -.old." In another moment, as it seemed tc Laura, she was nesiled under a superb white sleigh robe, flying over the snow crusted pavement beside the very hand Bomest man she had ever seen in her life. Was she dreaming? Was all this realt But, oh, how delightful, all the same, j and yet could she be sure that she wai loing rignt, or wroii,! But Laura Woodbine was only human, and she put that worrUomu conscience of hers to oue side and took to enjoying herself with all her might. And to ail appearmces, so did the unknown aousiu. The crimson of the sun;et on the snow was all faded away when they jingle J back to the stately Fifth Avenue house, and the white glitter of the olectrio lights wrapped everything in enchant ment.

"I'm awfully stupid not to comprehend it. But she's the pret tiest, most spirited little thing I've seen for a long time." Tuat very evening (Twelfth Night, all glittering with stars aid fragrant with frosty sweetness) Mrs. Woodbine came hurrying around to the bitg house u Fifth avenue. A second telegram had been received. Aneia was much worse, and it was nec e;ary that her mother and sister should jo to her at once. So the Masters Belfont lost the gover ness, so to speak, before they ever got icr. "And shall I never see Mr. Burgoyne again !" thought Laura, with a chill at her hesrt. "Weil, Fin ve very glad f itt" And turn she burst out crying, ull to V-rself. "What must he think of met" shi sobbed. "Oh. how foolish I was how Do'd how ui ui iidenl J" Roses were in bloom in thoss far Texan vales when Mrs. Woodbine and Laura reached the spot, lapped by the warm Gulf Stream, where Agneta lay amid her pillows. "Oh, I'm better now!" smiled the girl. "But, all the same, I'm glad you've come. It's dreadfully lonesome to be sick away from home. And ia'nt it funnyt Mrs. Wainwright (my school mate, you know, who has been so kind to me) has a brother who is a cousin of the Belfont family, where I was to have been governess. And he's as handsome as Apollo and Oh, here he is now!" At the san.e moment the door opened and Ernest Burgoyne himself entered, bringing a basket of rose-red peaches aestling in their fresh green leaves. "It's my Cousin Celeste!" cried he. "It's my sister Lallyl" declare Agneta. And then and there poor Laura uttered bar small "miserere" and confessed her tins. "I never thall forget that Twelfth Night sleighride," faltered she. 'Dj you know," thoughtfully ob lerved Ernest, "I don't believe I evei shall, either." "It was such an idiotic thing to do," iaid Laura. 'It was so pleasant," persisted Ern est. "Then you will forgive me," pleaded Laura. "Forgive you f'echoed Ernest. "Why, what is there to forglvef Now come out and let me show you my sister's ferneries and orchid bouse." "Mother," said Agneta, as she lay on her sofa that evening, with Mrs. Wood bine at her side, just wbere they could both see two slii, dark forms outlined against the yellow sunset sky, "I almost believe that Mrs. Wainwrigat's brother si falling in love with our Lally.

There Is no substantial reason why American women of average intelligence, not withstanding nerves an climate, should offend by their harsh tones.

No human being cia come into this orld without increasing or diminishing the sura total ot human happiness. A man has to be occasionally told hi a to be hanged to-morrow to make bins ipprcciate tbe many good things he has. One reason why the world is not re .orincd is because every man would have others make a beginning and never thinks of himself. A man must govern himself ere he u, 5ttogo7era a family; and his family ere be be fit to bear the fcoverument is be commonwealth.

A MisDi's Last Wish The Vienna carrespoudeat ot tli Lon don News tells tho following story cf a Rumanian m'ser: "A Greek died in the snail town of Caracal, having always lived on the alms of bis compatriot!. Before dying he made his wife swear that she would bury him in the dirty old overcoat whic'i bo wore ev:ry day. Tii poor woman bad to iok the Greeks l Caracal to helo her to provide tbe costs of the funeral." A good-hearted Greek went to see her ia her affliction, and pointing to tne body said he would give ber a beticr coat to bury the man in. Thon she told him of the dead man's last whh. Tho Greek, whose suspi cions were awakened, told her that sha should certainly not part with the body before she had well examined, the coat, lor there must be some particular reason for tho request. The widow unpicKod the lining of the overcoat and fouad 7000 in bauk notes which the miser wished to take to the grave with him.

Every day thousands cf buy peopli hurry dowu Nassau street and past Pine. They are unaware that every moraine, in a room over the Chase National Bank, between f 120,000.000 and 150,000, 000 chaoges hands io ten minutes. The Chase National Bank is in the northwest corner of Naau and Pino streets, and, over the bank, the rest of the building is occupied by the Clcarinsr House of the Associated Banks of New York. Every workday morning represcnta fives of over sixty bucks of the city ol New York assemble in the Clearing Boose with checks to be exchanged. Precisely at ten o'clock the representa tives exchange check?, receiving vouch ers and receipts in return. This takes exactly ten minutes. Tbe results of the interchange are then reported by each financial emissary to Wliiam Shearer, Manager of the Clearing House, and bis assistant, Wiliiam I. Gilpin. These two gentlemen mount into a gallery at the end of the room and ba'aace the results upon a huge proof sheet. On the floor below each bank representative has a high desk, belonging to his bank. After making their returns, they loll around lor half an hour until the result of t ie day's clearances uro read by Mr. Gilpin ftot the gallery. These are copied down by the mea on the floor below upon similar shte's and taken to the banks, where they furaish accurate daily statements of tbe financial standing aad daily business of kindred houses. The average sum which c'isnges han -is daily is about $133, 000,001), but upua Thursday la9t the enurnoiu sum ol $133,000,000 was involved. Upon receiving their creJit or de')i papers Ihs nu-n return to their institu tions. If one baak sent down $300,000 worth ot checks and received back only $200,000 in their own checks, they ars entitled to the $300,000 difference; and, on the ot'iier hand, if they pay over $2 JO, 000 worth of other banks' checks, taey are required to make it good. This is done at 1:30 p. m. each day. Ihen the clerks or messengers repair to the Clearing House and pay in what U chr.rged against them, and vice-versa. This ditferencj is paid in $1000, 2J00, J3J00 aad ?1J,')J1 I or silver cer tificate notes and payment is mi le b:tcis by the mstitututioa in Cie-tring House certificate?, n il c l are v.iluule-is except when signed by the Cieanng House. As the interchange of so much money is of considerable imuortance, the clerks or bauk mcxenjer., who carrr hundreds of thousands of dollars to or from Nas sau and Piue streeU, never travel alone, and genera.V come and go in cabs. The bank's detective, aud sometimes two of them, follow the man with the money. All go heavily armed, and there ia no instance upon record where one of these messengers his been robbed. By the middle of the afternoon, aftei the debits and credits have been made good, the Clearing House has not one cent in its coffers. It is all received and dispensed in the settling room. Ot a necessity, the accounts upon tt proof sheets have to balance. If there are any mistakes they are easily corrected by referring to the system of mutual vouchers and receipts, which each bank's representative takes and receives from very other bank. Aside from this, there is a system of flues, averaging $3 for each error made. This acta as s stimulus to accuracy an l prevents errors, which in reality are rare. Through the medium of the Clearing House each individual bank is saved thousands of dollars and valuable timo, It would keep five or six bank: clerks busy from morning until night to visit other bmks, return checks, exchange the same and collect or pay tbe differ ences, besido retarding the business and bookkeeping. The Clearing Hou?e of the Associated Bnuks of Ngw York has been in exist once since 1353. Daring that time it has been able to avert serious financial panics by tbe intimate knowledge which it furnished to eich bank concerning the exact condition ot the others. The af fairs of the institution are controlled by an Executive Committee of five, ap pointed at tho anauil meetings. Each bank is based according to tht amount of business which it transacts through the modium. Banks outside of the city are not admitted, but taey caa clear through the city banks by keeping, permanently, a large deposit in the banks which they select, and sending '.heir checks to them as agents. In tbe Clearing House, ia the uppei room, everything runs like clockwork. Each man knows his place, and the sys tem has been so simplified as to be abso lutely accurate. It runs in such smooth grooves, so well oiled, that the institu tion can clear or exchange with the same facility $200,000,000 or $100,003 in. aide of the prescribed tea minutes. There cau bo no mistakes involving i muture of tuo baaks. Eaca concern has a n amber of its on, which is never given to another. If the bank fails that number is never iued again. Thero is no opportunity to '-hoodoo," as it were, any other flunacial house. This is evinced in the pioof sheet, which possessei eighty-nine numbers, while only sixty odd banks are doing business. Tui others have failed or gone out of exist ence since the Clearing House wai founded . &o ct iiniafe Las yet been made of t'ai Sgregate sum whictt has changed banal since the organization of this medium. Aa idea can, however, be obtained from the fact that never since iU inceotioa has less than $30,000 been involved" daily. New York Recorder. The rase of Mr. Ricketta.
